prin phy and gen phy 6.33: jane at 5.3 m/s; how high can she swing up that vine?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

.5mv^2+mgy=.5mv^2+mgy

m cancels out

v^2=2g(y1-y2)

(5.3m/s)^2=2(9.8m/s^2)(y1-y2)

28.09m^2/s^2=19.6m/s^2(y1-y2)

Divide by 19.6m/s^2

1.43m=y1-y2

Jane is going to convert her KE to gravitational PE. We assume that nonconservative forces are negligible, so that `dKE + `dPE = 0 and `dPE = -`dKE.

Jane's KE is .5 M v^2, where M is her mass. Assuming she swings on the vine until she comes to rest at her maximum height, the change in her KE is therefore

`dKE = KEf - KE0 = 0 - .5 M v0^2 = - .5 M v0^2, where v0 is her initial velocity.

Her change in gravitational PE is M g `dy, where `dy is the change in her vertical position. So we have

`dKE = - `dPE, or

-5 M v0^2 = - ( M g `dy), which we solve for `dy (multiply both sides by -1, divide both sides by M g) to obtain

`dy = v0^2 / (2 g) = (5.3 m/s)^2 / (2 * 9.8 m/s^2) = 1.43 m.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

`dKe+`PE=0

`dPE=-`dKE

KE=.5Mv^2

`dKE=Kef -Ke0=0 -.5Mv0^2=-.5Mv0^2

PE=Mg`dy

`dKE=-dPE

-5Mv0^2=-(M g `dy)

Solve for `dy

`dy=v0^2/2g=1.43m

We will assume here that the gravitational PE of the system is zero at the point where the spring is compressed. In this situation we must consider changes in both elastic and gravitational PE, and in KE.

The PE stored in the spring will be .5 k x^2 = .5 ( 950 N/m ) ( .150 m)^2 = 107 J. When released, conservation of energy (with only elastic and gravitational forces acting there are no nonconservative forces at work here) we have `dPE + `dKE = 0, so that `dKE = -`dPE.

Since the ball is moving in the vertical direction, between the release of the spring and the return of the spring to its equilibrium position, the ball t has a change in gravitational PE as well as elastic PE. The change in elastic PE is -107 J, and the change in gravitational PE is m g `dy = .30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * .150 m = +4.4 J. The net change in PE is therefore -107 J + 4.4 J = -103 J.

Thus between release and the equilibrium position of the spring, `dPE = -103 J

The KE change of the ball must therefore be `dKE = - `dPE = - (-103 J) = +103 J. The ball gains in the form of KE the 103 J of PE lost by the system.

The initial KE of the ball is 0, so its final KE is 103 J. We therefore have

.5 m vv^2 = KEf so that

vf=sqrt(2 KEf / m) = sqrt(2 * 103 J / .30 kg) = 26 m/s.

To find the max altitude to which the ball rises, we return to the state of the compressed spring, with its 107 J of elastic PE. Between release from rest and max altitude, which also occurs when the ball is at rest, there is no change in velocity and so no change in KE. No nonconservative forces act, so we have `dPE + `dKE = 0, with `dKE = 0. This means that `dPE = 0. There is no change in PE. The initial PE is 107 J and the final PE must also therefore be 107 J.

There is, however, a change in the form of the PE. It converts from elastic PE to gravitational PE. Therefore at maximum altitude the gravitational PE must be 107 J. Since PEgrav = m g y, and since the compressed position of the spring was taken to be the 0 point of gravitational PE, we therefore have

y = PEgrav / (m g) = 107 J / (.30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2) = 36.3 meters.

The ball will rise to an altitude of 36.3 meters above the compressed position of the spring.

PE stored=.5kx^2=.5(950N/m)(.150m)^2=107J

`dKE=-`dPE

Elastic PE=-107J

change in grav. PE=mg`dy=.30kg*9.8m/s^2*.150m=4.4J

Net change=-107J +4.4J=-103J

Ke change=103J

initial KE=0

Final KE=103J

.5mv^2=KEf

vf=sqrt(2KEf/,)=sqrt(2*103J/.30kg)=26m/s

Initial PE=107J =final PE

y=PEgrav/(m*g)=107J/(.30kg*9.8m/s^2=36.3m

Am confused as to how this is different than the ex. 6-11(toy dart gun) on p. 153. Is it because it asks for upward speed?

FORMAL SOLUTION:

Formally we have `dPE + `dKE = 0.

`dPE = M * g * `dy = M * 20.6 m^2 / sec^2, where M is the mass of the jumper and `dy is the 2.1 m change in altitude.

`dKE = .5 M vf^2 - .5 M v0^2, where vf is the .7 m/s final velocity and v0 is the unknown initial velocity.

So we have

M g `dy + .5 M vf^2 - .5 M v0^2 = 0.

Dividing through by M we have

g `dy + .5 vf^2 - .5 v0^2 = 0.

Solving for v0 we obtain

v0 = sqrt( 2 g `dy + vf^2) = sqrt( 2* 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.1 m + (.7 m/s)^2 ) = sqrt( 41.2 m^2/s^2 + .49 m^2 / s^2) = sqrt( 41.7 m^2 / s^2) = 6.5 m/s, approx..

LESS FORMAL, MORE INTUITIVE, EQUIVALENT SOLUTION:

The high jumper must have enough KE at the beginning to increase his PE through the 2.1 m height and to still have the KE of his .7 m/s speed.

The PE change is M * g * 2.1 m = M * 20.6 m^2 / sec^2, where M is the mass of the jumper

The KE at the top is .5 M v^2 = .5 M (.7 m/s)^2 = M * .245 m^2 / s^2, where M is the mass of the jumper.

Since the 20.6 M m^2 / s^2 increase in PE must come at the expense of the initial KE, and since after the PE increase there is still M * .245 m^2 / s^2 in KE, the initial KE must have been 20.6 M m^2 / s^2 + .245 M m^s / s^2 =20.8 M m^s / s^2, approx.

If initial KE is 20.8 M m^s / s^2, then .5 M v0^2 = 20.8 M m^s / s^2.

We divide both sices of this equation by the jumper's mass M to get

.5 v0^2 = 20.8 m^2 / s^2, so that

v0^2 = 41.6 m^2 / s^2 and

v0 = `sqrt(41.6 m^2 / s^2) = 6.5 m/s, appprox.

** The spring exerts a force of 400 N / m * .220 m = 84 N at the .220 m compression. The average force exerted by the spring between equilibrium and this point is therefore (0 N + 84 N) / 2 = 42 N, so the work done in the compression is

`dW = Fave * `ds = 42 N * .220 m = 5.0 Joules, approx.

If all this energy is transferred to the block, starting from rest, the block's KE will therefore be 5.0 Joules. Solving KE = .5 m v^2 for v we obtain v = sqrt(2 KE / m) = sqrt(2 * 5.0 Joules / (2 kg) ) = 2.2 m/s, approx..

No energy is lost to friction so the block will maintain this speed along the level surface. As it begins to climb the incline it will gain gravitational PE at the expense of KE until the PE is 5.0 J and the KE is zero, at which point it will begin to slide back down the incline.

After traveling through displacement `ds along the incline the height of the mass will be `ds sin(37 deg) = .6 `ds, approx., and its gravitational PE will be PE = m g h = m g * .6 `ds = .6 m g `ds.

Setting this expression equal to KE we obtain the equation

.6 m g `ds = KE,

which we solve for `ds to obtain

`ds = KE / (.6 m g) = 5.0 Joules / (.6 * 2 kg * 9.8 m/s^2) = .43 meters, approx. **

** The gravitational PE of the skier decreases by 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 65 m = 38 kJ, approx. (this means 38 kiloJoules, or 38,000 Joules). The PE loss partially dissipated against friction, with the rest converted to KE, resulting in KE = 38 kJ / 10.5 kJ = 27.5 kJ.

Formally we have

`dKE + `dPE + `dWnoncons = 0, where `dWnoncons is the work done by the skier against friction. Since friction does -10.5 kJ of work on the skier, the skier does 10.5 kJ of work against friction and we have `dKE = -`dPE - `dWnoncons = - (-38 kJ) - 10.5 kJ = 27.5 kJ.

The speed of the skier at this point will be

v = sqrt( 2 KE / m) = sqrt( 2 * 27,500 J / (65 kg) ) = 30 m/s, approx.

Over the 82 m patch the force exerted against friction will be .2 * 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 118 N, approx., so the force exerted against nonconservative forces will be 118 N + 160 N = 280 N approx.. The work done will therefore be

`dWnoncons = 280 N * 82 m = 23 kJ, approx.,

and the skier's KE will be

KE = 27.5 kJ - 23 kJ = 4.5 kJ, approx.

This implies a speed of

v = sqrt( 2 KE / m) = 12 m/s, approx.

To stop from this speed in 2.5 m requires that the remaining 4.5 kJ of KE be dissipated in the 2.5 m distance. Thus we have

`dW = Fave * `ds, so that

Fave = `dW / `ds = 4500 J / (2.5 m) = 1800 N.

This is a significant force, about 3 times the weight of the skier, but distributed over a large area of her body will cause a good jolt, but will not be likely to cause injury.**
